The mango bingsoo was so good. I'm usually a savory foods girly, but I love the "not to sweet" sweets just like this bingsoo! It was my first time here and definitely not the last. The texture of the ice caught me off guard in a good way! It was like soft, but also still had a good "bite". I never had fresh snow before, but this is what I would imagine the texture to be like. It's milky ice, but in the best way possible. It's not icy at all. It's like soft and pillowy. It made me want to keep eating it. The mango sauce and mango cream on top was really good too. At first when I looked at the bingsoo, I'm not going to lie, the presentation looked a bit underwhelming at first, but there's a generous amount of mango chunks around the middle of the bingsoo. The mango chunks were soft and sweet! Honestly it was soooo good! My husband and I ended up sharing the shareable size together and we were able to finish it without a problem! I'm already craving it again as I am writing this review lol! The portion size is actually good. I love how they give a mountain of the ice and not have it flattened out. I also liked how milky the bingsoo was. It also didn't melt too fast, which is a plus. I was actually able to indulge instead of scarfing it down. Now I wish this place was closer to me as I'm from the Bay Area! I would probably eat this everyday if I could lol! It does get a little messy, like sticky so make sure you have napkins! I also kind of wish they had some topping options like mochi bits, condensed milk, sago, or mango popping boba lol or an option for extra cream! Oh and we arrived around 9:30pm. Not too long after we arrived, the place was packed! They do have a parking lot, but parking is quite limited and it's only like 20 minute and 30 minute parking.

Thanks to Yelp for leading us to this spot!…read more We had dinner in Torrance with my sister and my daughter. We were having so much fun and were looking for a dessert spot so we can continue to catch up. We found Noon Bingsu. It's in a strip mall with lots of other Korean businesses! It's well lit inside but not much in terms of decor. We got a small mango bingsoo and it was delicious! Big chucks of fresh mango, lots of mango flavored cream and the soft powdery shaved ice. There's really nothing else like it. In the famous words of Asian dessert compliment - NOT TOO SWEET! I'd love to come back again and try the injeolmi or grape flavor.

Great for couples, family, and friend. If you have a foodie friend who doesn't judge on exterior but rather the taste, this is a worthy spot. The lady helping us allowed us to try different options until we landed on Thai tea, almond amaretto, riceberry horchata on The Special (3 flavors) on a waffle bowl. It was placed on coconut sticky rice. At first I raised my eyebrows but when I tried it, I was blown away how GREAT of combo this is! 5/5 I would go out of my way to try this. What I also love about this is that it isn't sweet like typical dairy icecream but just sweet enough like the true gelatos you have in Italy. You must at least try this with the waffle bowl - it was quite the delight. The portion is big and you'll be surprisingly full. The special (3 flavors) is best for 2-3 people (regular serving). If you're going to eat this by yourself I'd just get 1 serving or the gelato cup. Restroom? No Seating? No

Luckily this was one of the stands that had good reviews, so I gave it a shot. Between the language barrier and my excitement for dessert, I somehow ended up ordering more than I planned. The ice cream was good and the Asian-inspired flavors were definitely different from the usual. It didn't completely blow my socks off, but it was a solid treat. I kept thinking a little syrup or extra topping would've taken it up another level. Overall, glad I tried it. Half the fun of these food events is randomly discovering stuff you normally wouldn't eat anyway. I'd probably check out their Torrance brick-and-mortar location sometime and give them another shot.

[Ordering]: There was no long waiting line and I was able to get my order within 5 minutes after placing an order at the counter. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are Iced Matcha Lattes, Strong Uji Matcha Green Tea (sweetened), and Stone Ground Uji Matcha (contains no sugar or milk). They offer small, medium, and large sizes for their drinks. In addition, they also sell hojicha drinks as well as parfaits and soft-serve ice cream. *** Strong Uji matcha green tea (sweetened - small $4.50): The matcha flavor was strong alright. The drink did hit the spot and the sweetness level was about right. Mixed Soft Serve (half matcha and half hojicha - $6.75): Ice cream had a strong matcha flavor, but the texture didn't hit the spot. It would be nicer if the flavor was slightly less dense as this ice cream really made me want to drink more water afterward. The milk chocolate was a nice add-on, but I am not sure if it was really needed. *** I would stick with their drinks and there are better soft-serve matcha ice creams in Los Angeles (e.g. Meccha Matcha in Artesia or Tea Master Matcha Cafe & Green Tea Shop in Little Tokyo).

These candies are dairy free, gluten free, sodium free, low in sugar, and beautifully packaged in a way that feels like you're really getting something special. The taste of these is mildly sweet and mildly flavored. The texture is the best part, with soft centers, firm exteriors, and fun crunchy "rock" bits: great contrasts.

They're situated in the corner of the plaza where there are tons of other Asian eats as well. The bad: I didn't get to try any foods this trip but will come back to try their savory foods. The coconut pieces in coconut water was frozen so we couldn't consume it right away. The interesting: They prefer you pay cash. Their dessert options weren't on their menu.

I always assumed they only served breakfast and desserts based on the name. Clearly, I was missing out! I ordered the Khao Soi with chicken, and let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious! The broth was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. That coconut curry combination was everything! The noodles, onions, and all the different textures worked so well together. I especially loved the crispy wonton strips on top, which added the perfect crunch. Every bite was so comforting and flavorful. This is definitely a dish I would come back for! I also ordered a Thai iced tea, which I really enjoyed. It was a little on the sweet side for my preference, so next time I would probably request a little extra cream to balance it out. The restaurant itself was clean, cozy, and inviting. I decided to dine inside, put my earbuds in, and enjoy an episode of Netflix while eating my soup. It was honestly such a relaxing little lunch. The service was excellent! The cashier was incredibly sweet and attentive, checking on me throughout my visit to make sure everything was okay. Overall, I'm so glad I decided to give Sweet Rice a try. Great food, wonderful service, and a cozy atmosphere. That Khao Soi alone is worth coming back for. Definitely a spot I'll be visiting again!

My last review was in August of 2014, I then have ordered from Cookie Zombie at least 15 times. Every time I order, the cookies are fresh, hot and taste delicious. I usually order a dozen, then go to the Holly Main Liquor store and pick it up from there, I would have it delivered if possible, but unfortunately I'm out of there delivery range. When you buy a dozen you can choose any 4 flavors, I always get the OMFG, Sweet PB, Cookies n Creme & Funfetti. The OMFG: A chocolate chip cookie with extra chocolate chips and the Best tasting cookie I've ever had in my life. Period. The Sweet PB: A Peanut Butter cookie with reese's pieces, if you like peanut butter and a cookie that's soft in the middle, with crunchy reese's pieces at times definitely get this one! The Cookies n Creme: Basically a cookie for all the Oreo lovers, Crushed Oreo pieces and white chocolate chips. The Funfetti: This cookie is pretty unique, it's sort of like a fruity cookie because it's got fruity pebbles in it. It's pretty good. Unfortunately, they don't put the OMFG cookie on the menu often, Hopefully one day it becomes a regular! The only downside to CZ is there delivery range, If they could extend there delivery range i'm sure they could increase there business and make a lot of customers feel the joy of having a cookie from CZ. Other than that, Cookie Zombie is perfect and the only place i'll be buying cookies from. read more

El Segundo pick-up is at Holly Mini Liquor store. Walk up to cashier and give them your order's name. Delici fresh-baked cookies within 15-20mins. A delivery guy will come in with your fresh box of goodies. Impressively, quick service. Feels like an Alien Delivery operation- bc the Oreo cookies are out of this World! I'd highly recommend: 1- Oreo 2- FunFetti 3- Oatmeal Apple 4- Whatever, it will be good 12 cookies for about $15 Delivery is quick too.

I honestly feel like I ate Cake n Bake in a former life and somehow found it again. I could literally eat their cakes every single day. My boyfriend and I discovered Cake n Bake one afternoon after lunch when we were craving dessert. It was easy to find, and street parking wasn't difficult either. (Just be careful crossing the street--the drivers can be a little crazy!) As soon as we walked in, we were greeted warmly and helped right away. They have a beautiful display of cakes baked fresh daily, with both individual slices and whole cakes, along with cheesecakes. On our first visit, we ordered the Tres Leches cake, Vanilla Berry cake, Carrot cake, Chocolate Cherry cake, and two servings of banana pudding. I couldn't even wait until I got home--I opened the container and started eating in the car. One bite of the Chocolate Cherry cake and I was instantly hooked. The cake was incredibly moist, the tart cherries were plump and juicy, and the whipped frosting was light, perfectly balanced, and not overly sweet. I honestly can't wait for my birthday because I fully intend to order an entire Chocolate Cherry cake just for myself. The banana pudding tasted just like my Yia Yia's (grandma's) homemade banana pudding, which says a lot. The carrot cake quickly became another favorite of mine. Since that first visit, we've already gone back three more times! We've also tried the pear cake, and the spinach cake and honey cake are next on our list. I almost forgot--they also serve coffee and refreshers. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I absolutely love their refreshers. They're made with fresh fruit purée and sparkling water, served in a really nice cup that I honestly wanted to keep. The customer service is just as amazing as the desserts. We stopped by on Father's Day later in the afternoon and were so happy they were still open. I was disappointed because they had sold out of the Chocolate Cherry cake, but the gentleman helping us actually went into the kitchen and made me one. That level of customer service is hard to find these days. I really need to remember to take pictures the next time we go because I want everyone to see what I consider dessert perfection. If you're anywhere near Cake n Bake, do yourself a favor and stop in. Just be warned...you'll probably be back again and again! They have a nice seating area in a cover patio in front and to be honest I can't remember if they have tables inside because I'm always focused on the cakes in the display.

I do wish they had compostable plastic spoons - I don't love the texture of the wooden spoons. A waffle cone could be a delicious way to bypass the wooden spoon... The line when you walk in is weird - I'm not really sure how they could change it to make it better but when groups come in they tend to stand in the way of the exit.
